Ironfest - Lithgow
Building on the unique industrial heritage, the stunning natural environs (Lithgow borders on the western edge of the Blue Mountains World Heritage National Park), and the rich cultural heritage, a group of artists have created a stunningly unique & exciting Australian cultural heritage event, called Ironfest: celebrating artistic & technological innovation, with a focus on metal art.
Now into its' 9th year, Ironfest brings together a fascinating range of talented people from all over Australia: from local artist designer/ makers & blacksmiths, to sculptors, jewellers and performers from as far away as Geelong, Canberra & Bellingen.
The event comprises of art exhibitions, artist's stalls, live music, performance, historical exhibits & re-enactments, educational exhibits, demonstrations, workshops & numerous other mini events.

Bre&d in the Pavillion, Bathurst. An evening bush dance in the Beau Brown Pavilion at Bathurst Showground will be the Bathurst Region Eats & Drinks major event for 2008. Bre&d in The Pavilion on Saturday, April 26 will replace Bre&d on the Bridge lunch as the group’s signature event for the year.
Vice President, Neil Tinker said Bre&d members felt that it was time for a change and believed the new
event would build on the extremely successful Paddy’s Night held in 2007.
“It will once again be a chance for local providores and vignerons to display the best of our region’s freshest
foods and the Farmer’s Markets stallholders will be featujred heavily”, Mr Tinker said.
“Local band, Collector, will be entertaining us with their foot tapping music and the ambience of the
historic showground pavilion is sure to make for another successful evening.”
